Lost Mobile Phones

cx6

maybe the reason you can't contact is that they have ditched the sims and got new ones. Or the phone is still in your house but switched off.

you could try calling o2 and asking about the number - aftercall, it is yours

Presumably you didnt have a "find my phone" type app on them? I know with the Apple version it'll show where the phone was last time it was online and if on latest version of iOS it'll even respond if its turned off as long as there is some juice in the battery.  I imagine the Android phones have something similar.

BBC Radio Five live were discussing burglary this morning.

One phone in caller talked about being burgled in a holiday Villa in Cyprus and losing an iPhone as well as other valuables.

When she returned home to the UK she got another replacement phone on insurance. When she accessed her account (I can't remember exactly what that was) she found that she could see all the photos that the thief had taken on her stolen phone since the burglary and the bar were some were taken.

The Cyprus police were informed and arrested the female burglar at that bar.

I may have some details wrong but that is the gist of the story.

I have no idea but I will certainly check tomorrow.  There is a good chance this is possible on the Android one.

No, I'm just not techy enough for that sort of thing.  One was an iPhone and the other an Android.  Its so gutting not knowing for definite that they have been taken.  It really is looking this way :-(

All I can offer is my sympathy if that is the case.

It can't be easy being caught between your partner and her son.

I hope it all works out for you ok.

His son.  I'm a female lol.

No, it isn't easy being caught between father and son at all :-(

This has worked after a fashion.   It confirms the iPhone was in use 10 minutes ago.  In order to locate my phone, I have to log into my AppleID but cant remember my password.  It gets worse, I know the answers to the security prompts but I am being told one of my answers is wrong :-(

It would appear the user has changed the Apple ID. Block the phones.

The problem sometimes is how the question is asked and validation rules… “what was your first car?” Is it Citroen Saxo or Citroen or saxo or did they not allow spaces so it was citroensaxo
